The anger and frustration, enough to animate Doctor Holliday was observed by the two as they remained seated. Hearing him losing his loved ones from a vicious and addictive substance that has lured many into a sense of superiority and belonging, to only then collapse under manipulated scarcity and life threatening dependency, only to be a heavy weight burdened onto those desperate to help them smile. Doctor Hope tightened her fists as she watched Holliday unpack his tribulations of aid, CS on the other hand was patiently taking in everything he said as his focus onto the enraged Doctor was unbroken.
"Doctor Holliday..." CS spoke up once the Doctor found a pause in his rant, as his fingers slowly spread open as his palms rested flat on the table. "A combination of an powerful euphoric mutagenic and a hedonistic evil in control of a broken system. What it leaves in its wake is a ruined mass of victims falling deeper in their own struggles that were promised an escape... People like you and me choose not to ignore the source.""Your daughters justice will be delivered by the 'light at the end of the glass...' Even in shared spirit." Her voice through the speaker was clear and stoic with her yet simultaneously carried a whisper of furious conviction within the flow of her words. Hope's fists still gripped tightly, the synthetic material of her gloves creaking with the tightness of her grip. "What Doctor Hope means is that the pain of your daughter is carried in our drive to fight, the morally ambiguous actions in our hands in the name of what is justly right and good. No matter the cost to me or my kin. I hope you're willing to work with us towards a goal so desperately desired..."
But when Doctor Holliday answered with the delivery of a medical field bag brimming with capsules of the narcotic mugaten. "By the Void..." Hope and CS both gave immediate attention to it. "We're thankful for anything we receive. You have your deepest gratitude Doctor." Hope turned her visor towards CS briefly. "Enigma and Cipher are on their way, they'll deliver these to the labs for purity assessment." Doctor Hope zipped the bag back up and place it on the edge of the table on her side.
"Just so you have an understanding Doctor Holliday, these will be distributed to our clinics on our stations and within the underground, there people receive prescriptions with help towards civil stability. We're attempting to substitute in stabiline where we can on as many as possible but it's hard to purchase--" Doctor Hope quietly gave CS a nudge with her elbow. "Or steal... such a high scarcity pharmaceutical These people are in a health crisis, so I don't think the Platform will be partaking in the profit driven end of its distribution, I myself have no interests whatsoever to possess an obscene amount of credits."
"One issue is that the Outcasts will likely see this as a disruption to their network monopoly... So therefore we have considered this more of a Corporate sabotage effort rather than merely cartel countermeasures. With our growing numbers, the last thing I want to see is a mass triage of withdrawal victims on stations all while House states call this suffering 'problem solved.'"
"Now this... Medical research. As you know we can't force anyone to undergo any invasive testing or examination, we can put word out for our clinics for any volunteers and I may be of assistance in some way, but then we need to ask what you want from our patients." Doctor Hope had obtained another data-padd from under the table, preparing to write up whatever the Doctor mentioned.
